I'm struggling to understand why he needs all those guages... most cars have a temperature guage, fuel guage and clock. Hes obviously repeating these on top of the dash, along with a rev metre and some other pointless shit too.

I dont deserve to be in the car then. Guages I pay attention to are oil, temp and speedo in towns. But I have all of those in the instrument cowel right infront of me - I dont need to get my passenger to read them from the other side of the car, or a man under the boot to tell me the readings
